To one who has been long in city pent, · John Keats

Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn

To one who has been long in city pent,

John Keats

1795-10-31 — 1821-02-23 · Moorgate

John Keats was a leading figure of the second generation of English Romantic poets. Despite a short life, his prolific output of some of the most celebrated odes and sonnets in the English language profoundly impacted literature. His poetry is renowned for its sensory richness, exploration of beauty, and philosophical depth, often delving into themes of love, mortality, and the transient nature of existence. Keats's work, though not widely appreciated during his lifetime, is now considered a cornerstone of Romantic literature, celebrated for its exquisite craftsmanship and emotional intensity.
